(Zuko's POV)
Eating dinner with your father and Azula was not pleasant. You always felt like they were judging you. It was disturbingly quiet. You missed eating dinner with Uncle and Kana, Uncle would always try to make jokes and kana would always try to get you to talk or smile.
"Sir" a solider approached.
"What is it? Why are you disturbing my dinner?" Ozai asked in annoyance.
"Two prisoners escaped from the boiling rock this afternoon"
"WHAT!" Ozai slammed his fists down on the table, knocking over a goblet of wine and shaking the rest of the table. The solider flinched away fearing Ozai's anger would be redirected at him.
'Maybe kana escaped' you thought happily, you didn't let it show on your face.
"That's impossible" Azula stated, "no has ever escaped from the Boiling Rock."
"Explain yourself" Ozai snapped at the soldier. You felt bad for the poor guy; he was just delivering a message.
"At approximately three thirty the rogue firebender Kana and a non-bender of Earth Kingdom decent known as Jet escaped from the Boiling Rock prison" The solider explained.
You wanted to smile but you couldn't because Azula was watching you. 'Wait, I thought Jet was dead' you thought. And why are Jet and Kana working together.
"How did this happen" Ozai yelled.
"It is currently being investigated, we do know they stole uniforms from two guards but that wasn't until after they escaped from the prison. They left the island in the uniforms"
"Get out of my sight," Ozai snapped. "Guards, I want heightened security in every prison, and wanted posters of kana up by tomorrow all over the fire nation"

Guards have been running around for the past few hours, even though it well past midnight. Kaito didn't think much of it but you knew something was up. Just when you were going to go to sleep you heard footsteps approaching. You turned to see Prince Zuko he looked anxious.
"What's going on?" you asked.
Zuko looked around then spoke "Kana escaped from the Boiling Rock" he said.
You smiled 'I knew she could do it' you thought proudly. If that was all Zuko would look happy, something else must have happened. "What's the bad news?" you asked knowing their must be more.
"The entire Fire Nation will be looking for her" he said sadly, "and with all the extra guards around I don't know if I can help you and Kaito escape, everyone has orders to kill both of you on sight if you escape, so we can't mess up"
Zuko seemed genuinely upset that he couldn't help you and Kaito escape. "I appreciate the help and all of the information you've delivered but me and Kaito will find our own way out" or at least you hope you do, the execution is still scheduled for a week from now.
Zuko nodded and left. You released a breath you didn't realize you were holding.
"So we're going to die next week" Kaito mused, you were startled you didn't even realize he was awake.
"We're not going to die"
"Then what's going to happen? I can't water bend without water, I've been so dehydrated that I can't even sweat" It still grosses you out that when all else fails Kaito uses sweat bending. "And it's not like theirs any ground for you to bend pretty much everything in the fire nation is made out of metal…" Kaito's hopeless rant continued to the point that you just tuned him out.
He had a point; you wondered how you would escape. Maybe it is hopeless.
(Kana's POV)
The next morning you and Jet woke up as the sun rose, you decided to get an early start mostly because you still had to figure out what you were going to do.
"We need to get to the capital city," you said, as you looked for the knife that was part of the guard uniform. You needed to cut your hair.
"Why so you can get us captured by your traitor boyfriend" Jet mumbled bitterly.
You frowned, that was uncalled for. You knew Zuko didn't betray you but he didn't help you either. "No jerk, we need to free my brothers, Longshot and Smellerbee" you snapped.
Jet instantly felt bad. You turned away and continued to look for the knife.
Jet walked over to you, "Look kana, I'm sorry…I didn't mean it like that"
"I think it was pretty self-explanatory" you said, "and he's not my boyfriend anymore" you frowned.
Jet was quiet after that. After a few minutes of unsuccessful searching you got frustrated and finally asked Jet if he knew where the knife was.
"Oh you mean this?" jet asked pulling the knife out of its sheath.
"Yes, gimme" you said rather childishly. Jet gave you a look so you continued. "I need to cut my hair, its too recognizable, actually I should figure out a way to dye my hair too" you replied.
Jet sheathed the knife then tossed it to you, and in a swift motion you unsheathed it flipped your hair over your head and cut it into a short pixie style.
"So what are we going to do?" Jet asked.
"I don't know but we can't stay here"
Jet nodded; time to figure out how to get to the Fire Nation Capital, but first you need to figure out where you are.
